From a group of women (2,078 total), only 9.7% have red hair. How many is this?
9.7% = 0.097
In math, "of" means multiply, so
0.097 * 2078 = 201.57
To find out how many women in the group have red hair, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Calculate the percentage value.
Percentage = 9.7% = 9.7/100 = 0.097
Step 2: Multiply the percentage value by the total number of women.
Number of women with red hair = Percentage * Total number of women
Number of women with red hair = 0.097 * 2,078
Step 3: Calculate the result.
Number of women with red hair = 201.166
Since you cannot have a fraction of a person, round the value to the nearest whole number.
Number of women with red hair ≈ 201
Therefore, approximately 201 women in the group have red hair.
To find out how many women have red hair from a group of 2,078, we need to calculate 9.7% of 2,078.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal form
To convert a percentage to decimal form, divide it by 100. So, 9.7% becomes 0.097.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number in the group
Multiply 0.097 by 2,078 to find the number of women with red hair.
0.097 * 2,078 = 201.566
Step 3: Round the result to the nearest whole number
Since you cannot have a fraction of a person, round the result to the nearest whole number.
Rounding 201.566 to the nearest whole number gives us: 202.
Therefore, approximately 202 women in the group of 2,078 have red hair.
